destroy(n)

destroyn

Destroy one or more windows

Usage

destroy ?window window ...?

Overview

This command deletes the windows given by the window arguments, plus all of their descendants. If a window is deleted then all windows will be destroyed and the application will (normally) exit. The windows are destroyed in order, and if an error occurs in destroying a window the command aborts without destroying the remaining windows. No error is returned if window does not exist.

Examples

Destroy all checkbuttons that are direct children of the given widget: proc killCheckbuttonChildren {parent} {
foreach w [winfo children $parent] {
if {[winfo class $w] eq "Checkbutton"} {
destroy $w
}
} }
